I feel like the makers of Sea of Monsters were actively TRYING to kill off the PJO/HoO movie line. I'm all for ageing up the characters but this was just BAD. Bad acting, horrible dialog, and writing themselves into a corner. And The Titan's Curse could have been so good. Lena Heady as Artemis, Sybill what's her face who played Shae as Zoe Nightshade (like I said I'm all for making the films more adult), scrap that stupid "archaic" diction of hers that wouldn't even have been grammatical during the Renaissance and Riordan KNOWS it. But alas.
